backyard love...

If you can get past the dirty fingernails....then by all means...stay a bit. I am not bathing the kids as much...

ya know....

just trying to save a buck or two...

cutting corners....

and i'll tell you why in a different post.

I don't know about you...but i am a lover of white pumpkins.

especially the little one's....

the babies.

I'm trying to get ready for Saturday.....and so these little guy's have made their way around my home and yard.

I went into Anthro yesterday...just to get a little inspiration.....and i walked out overwhelmed.

I loved how they have chopped wood everywhere....bundles and bundles of wood.....stacked

on tables.....under tables....

on chairs...

under chairs...

so i came home and asked "hottie" to go out and chop me some wood......

because i was on a mission......

i wanted that Anthro look...with chopped wood ....everywhere.

yup.....

this is what i got.

4 pieces of chopped wood.

"hottie".....got in the car....drove 2 blocks to the gas station and bought a little bundle of wood.

Hopefully we don't burn it all with the next smore's night...

seriously......

am i asking to much??

and don't look to fast.....

because you'll miss it completely....

Try not to be jealous......

oh...

and speaking of baby names..

i guess we weren't speaking of baby names...but we are now..

....my brother and his wife are narrowing down the boy names.....so if you still have some ideas....leave then on {this post}...but they really like Cuttler, Bennett, and Preston. And i love how so many of you love the name Finn....but i have one....and we spell it Fin....so chances are pretty slim that they are going to choose that name......just letting you know.

Those names are not official by any means....but they are in the top 5.

And i did not forget about the giveaway.....

nope....did not.

here are the winners:

I just found your blog! I love the white pumpkins and wood decor, so gorgeous! Too bad you don't live closer to me, we have cords and cords of wood stacked EVERYWHERE (it's our main heating source for 11 nearly grown people and we prepare 2-3 years in advance).

Laughed so hard at your husband's ambitious cord of wood! I also have a husband who thinks I am insane, oh well! I am glad you have mastered the Bedazzler, that skill still alludes this lifelong artist. Love your blog!Carmen Donowho

is hottie a little over worked my dear?i mean the whole fam picture on the tracks was quite spectacular...especially since we all know he posed for the blue green door shot. then rumor has it he cleaned the exterior of your dream home.he has the whole finance kasey's giveaways pressure going on.now you expect him to chop wood?sigh...

oh & i'm not falling for your 80's thing either missy& i already listen to my lola b music so why don't you just send me a kasey fam picture original inside my christmas card.you have my addy...obviously

DAMNIT!!!I wanted a bedazzled something!!! Oh well :( However, Prestyn is a name I believe I suggested and that's almost better than a bedazzled something to know someone else likes the name as much as I do!

Love the look and creativity with the pumpkins and wood. Unfortunately, one of my kids wouldn't see the art in my careful placement and would use them for something more practical like cricket or rolling down the hill or throwing in the pool.

Shucks I missed out on the bedazzled gift! Dang:) You are too much sometimes my sweet Kasey. Oh how I hope to meet you in person some day. Tell Hottie husband he did good regardless. Better than nothing right? Wish I could make your show. Maybe someday it will work out.

Yes, I love white pumpkins. I'm in love with white anything. Even though I suspected the answer, anthropologie does not exist in Vermont. (I'm barely existing in Vermont!) I did find the online catalog, that will have to do.

my kids just seen me dance like never before---my dog Stella was even a little distraught over it and tried to bite me. Youuuuu Whooooo!! I'm so excited--a good down payment on the boots with the ruffle I've been dying for!!! Thank you so much Ms. Kasey. Oh by the way, I am sick I did not get my pictured made with you---I was so excited to see you, I literally forgot what I was doing.

Ok, I am laughing as I read this post about the firewood and I'm telling my hubby that there are other women out there like me. I am always arranging things to take pics. I sometimes think that my neighbors must think I'm a little strange.♥ Rebecca

I do love the mix of the wood and the pumpkin..it has a real feel to it! That was really funny about your hottie and the wood...whats a women to do?! I used to have a Bedazzled thing, don't know what ever happened to it!But I an bedazzled by your very cute blog! Come say hi :D

Seriously funny what hubby did with the wood and Yes, I'm pretty sure it's quite the task to go cut wood...just sayin. I'm pretty sure my husband would have done the same. Funny stuff girl!Do you think you could come over and bedazzle my bedspread? I think it'd be WAY cool.

Kasey I so do not have any time to master the BEDAZZLER!...I already got in trouble with Hubs for spending too much time on FB & blogging...haha. He says he thinks I have an addiction problem...oh well there are worse things to be addicted too. I have some leftover firewood from last Winter that I will bring right over! :)

Hey girl I am with you on the white pumpkin thing. I actually got into a fight with another Mother at the pumpkin patch last year over one. Not really, but I could have. Your post about washing the laundry a second time, so me~~ That made me laugh~~~ I hipe your open house is a huge success! If you want to jaunt up to Michigan my Mom has tons of chopped wood at her cottage!! Wish I could come up, soon very soon~Bristol

Love your white pumpkins, Lola. Yes, that wood pile looks a little on the sparse side, but just think, you won't have a bug problem, 'cause bugs just love wood, so Anthro must be crawling with them by now.

Shocking...you like white pumpkins! ;)So cute! I have a baby one on my counter right now, next to my spaceship shaped squash. :)We have a Bennett and a Malcolm here, both are commented on often for being unique.Congrats to the winners!The Bedazzler huh? You will have to show me how cool it turned out for me to believe it! :)

I'm lovin' me some white pumpkins too, but a also got a few green and orangey ones as well. I'm bummed I missed getting a BEDAZZLED creation. Show us a pic will ya?PS. I nominated you for an award today. Pop over if you have a chance.

I happened upon your blog via Mia Joie, the title is what caught my interest, as my daughter's name is Lola! I have been sitting here reading your sweet stories - your pictures on the railroad track are beautiful of your family! Somehow the mama's never make it in them, food or not!

Wanted to suggest a boy name - Kyan. That is my son's name, and I must say that I adore him, so how could I not throw that one in the mix, although I do like the list that is already there!

Bedazzler? For real? I don't know, that sounds akin to the battery operated hair braider I got my mother-in-law for Christmas one year. {Hey, it was on her list.} I don't believe it can be non-tacky. I need pictures.
